How bad can it get for Seattle? They have lost 12 in a row and haven't seen the win column this year. Their spirits are crushed because of their bad play and the desire of the new ownership to move the team to Oklahoma City. Even when they have a game in hand, they find a way to grab defeat from the jaws of victory. Up by 13 points with eight minutes to go, they lost to Houston on Wednesday. The lowly Hawks are favored here for a reason - Seattle can't beat anyone. As bad as Atlanta is on the road they are holding opponents to a very respectable 93.3 ppg. Seattle gives up 103.6 per game at home and that has climbed to 116 per game over their last five games. Seattle has won just 5-of-29 games the past two seasons as a home underdog and 6-of-36 as a dog overall this season. We like the Hawks here.
